constructors

i just solved a game and i came across a question- are the constructors inherited from a superclass to subclass? i answered yes and the correct answer was no. i understand that when we want to use influence the initialization of instance variables of a superclass we can use super() construct.and in fact, every time we call a onstructor of subclass, the constructor call to superclass constructor is implicitely made, if we dont write it explicitely/ is this what inheritance means? can constructors he inherited from superclass to subclass?

If constructors were inherited, we could write Bar b = new Bar("Hello"); but we can't. The class Bar does not inherit Foo's constructor that takes a String as an argument. You can call this constructor from a constructor in class Bar, like this:

Also, I just read in Core Java by Sun Publisher that although constructors are not inherited, a call to the superclasses constructor ('super') is implicitly made if you don't specify the call yourself. This implicit call is carried all the way up the chain to the Object class. They were making the point that you don't have to 'daisy-chain' finalize() calls to destroy an Object, even though it WAS daisy chained (implicitly) to be created. Just some extra info you probably didn't need!

The error message you get may seem a bit cryptic, but it means that the constructor in "Level03" is illegal since Java will try and insert an implicit call to "super()". But "Level02" doesn't supply a default constructor, and Java won't add one because there is another constructor already defined. So the [implicit] call to "super()" in the "Level03" constructor fails, and this code won't compile. This may be too advanced for a "Beginning Java" thread, but understanding constructors is a key aspect of learning Java.

I’ve looked at a lot of different solutions, and in my humble opinion Aspose is the way to go. Here’s the link: http://aspose.com
